0 Guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 First of all, I have to be careful with my hints so please bear with me. And, as always, please use spoilers.may i ask, is this whole scenario you describe a part of this dream that in the end he finds truth and revelation? is indeed a part of the "Dream", so to speak. But I'm pretty sure that information will take you in the wrong direction. riding the beast??? an expression???? or is he not really alone? Good questions. To answer would render the riddle much easier, I'm afraid. Perhaps I'll give more as this puzzle wears on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Alone, wandering, But not without aim. Searching Hidden in plain sight, Same features, same name. Interpret as: 1. Identical to one's self Yep, almost exactly. 2. A reflection This interpretation has been made before, in fact. We'll see if it leads back to the solution. Riding the beast, Through the heat and the hate. Located in a desert, nope in the middle of a war Only metaphorically. Just a random guess, but this sound a lot like "Operation: Desert Storm" It is not. Great job with the initial analysis. Look inside your spoiler for notes.

(pardon the pun) I'm not much of a gamer any more, so I've not heard of the game. It DOES sound like a compelling storyline.Is incorrect, I'm afraid. It does, however put you in the ballpark in a major way. I won't tell you how, of course.Yes, we're looking for a person, but keep in mind that the last two lines go together.

I like the guess though. If your guess is in response to my previous clue, then you picked the wrong direction. I was afraid that might happen.

0 Guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Maybe I am WAY off... but I thought I would go through the riddle bit by bit. Am I on the right track? Alone, wandering, But not without aim. (Person obviously has a mission) Hidden in plain sight, (this one beffudles me) Same features, same name. Riding the beast, (alone with conscience?) Through the heat and the hate. (Interviewing ones consecience?) Through these eyes, a glimpse, (thinking.) Of the other man's fate. (feeling guilty because of a crime. Trying to see through the victims eyes)Truth and revelation, In the end of the Dream. (seeing throught the other mans eyes was like a vision and a revalation maybe) The work I have wrought, And my name you must glean.

0 Guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 i am looking forward to the answer is the person a pariah or martyr? Martyr, as a matter of definition. Dickens, A Christmas Carol Since you figured out the "author" angle, I can point out that the last two lines are "The work I have wrought, and MY NAME you must glean.

Question
Guest
Alone, wandering,
But not without aim.
Hidden in plain sight,
Same features, same name.
Riding the beast,
Through the heat and the hate.
Through these eyes, a glimpse,
Of the other man's fate.
Truth and revelation,
In the end of the Dream.
The work I have wrought,
And my name you must glean.
Enjoy.
